| Baseline period | May 1, 2015 | April 30, 2016 |
A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:
This baseline year was chosen as it was exactly 4 years prior to the dates being reported on. Meaning that no other data should be contributed from our baseline year as it falls outside of our 3 year window.
Source-site ratio for imported electricity:
Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:
| Site energy | Source energy | |
| Performance year | 0.08 MMBtu per square foot | 0.10 MMBtu per square foot |
| Baseline year | 0.07 MMBtu per square foot | 0.10 MMBtu per square foot |
Percentage reduction in total source energy consumption per unit of floor area from baseline:

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
All students living in on campus residence buildings are asked to inform our facilities department right away in regard to issues with heating and lighting in their rooms so that they can be addressed quickly. There is signage as well as verbal reminders from members of residence staff to report problems to facilities in order to have students addressing issues regarding their energy use right away.
As well, when students leave their residence for breaks over the Holidays, they are required to do an eco checkout which ensures that windows are closed, lights are off, and anything that would unnecessarily drain extra power while they are gone is unplugged.
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
The campus utilizes Johnson Controls Metasys building automation system to regulate temperature. This digital system uses schedules to turn on/ off all roof top units. Mechanical units are programmed off at night. While the roof top units are off temperature set points are also disabled. Night time set points are achieved primarily through perimeter radiation. During colder weather individual units can be timed to come on via the system if needed
In the gymnasium the main MUA (Make Up Air Unit) is turned off at night. The night set back temperature is programmable and typically has a night set back point of 15 degrees Celsius year round. When the lower setpoint is reached the unit cycles on and off to maintain the set point.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
We have installed Phillips 8 watt LED s at two per fixture in our 9 story residence tower stairwells. There are a total of 40 fixture at 16 watts each.Furthermore our front parking lot has been retrofitted to 60 and 90 Watt LEDs.
The light tubes that used to be in common spaces on campus have been replaced with LED panels. All light fixtures in our apartment residence buildings have been outfitted with LEDs as well.
The outdoor lighting, especially that which surrounds our ice skating rink during the winter has been placed on a timer from 5-11pm to avoid excessive use. In addition, the lighting in the common space of our Academic building has been placed on timers as well.
Nearly all spaces on campus have been converted to LED bulbs in an attempt to be more environmentally consious.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
Located in the North Academic Building, The King's University has implemented solar curtains that assist the building in regulating heat throughout the year. The blinds automatically move up or down based on the amount of sun coming in and the heat in the building. They are capable of blocking up to 85% of the solar heat that comes into the building.
